Video: McDonald's Manager NOT Amused By This "Coning' Gag

Perhaps it's nice to know that life for a young adult in some parts of suburban America is so uneventful that it's still necessary to devise stupid pranks to alleviate the boredom. But it's even nicer to know that other young adults who have jobs and bills to pay aren't having it. Our hero for today is this New Jersey McDonald's employee, who refuses to enable the idiotic act of "coning," wherein a customer at a drive-thru window grabs an ice cream cone by the ice cream, instead of the cone.

Sure, the video would have been better if he actually had mashed the ice cream cone in both of their giggling faces, and then they crashed the car into a telephone pole and it blew up. But this is an important first step toward setting aside those childish things Obama nagged us about. And just think, we made it through the whole summer without getting iced! [Via The Daily What.]

What's idiotic is calling it "coning". Should be "ice creaming". Or just plain "creaming".

No, what's idiotic is grown people doing this. Pathetic really. This is a grown ass woman here. How effing sad is that? Who cares what it's called?

izzy isou

Oh, and that "thank you" she says at the end just gave me a bad case of diarrhea.

izzy isou

Just that whiny white American ditz "hi" is enough to make me want to move as far away from the States as possible.

izzy isou

She keeps looking back at the male who's videotaping for approval. This is pathetic.

Peanut_Butter

Not for the male.

I love it when people post things on YouTube that makes them look criminally stupid.

This video is offensive to young white suburban blonde female USAers.

The manager was a humorless dick and the chick was hot. He should've just played along.

Alex Trust

i agree, all she was going to do was have ice cream on her hands and drive away, the manager needs to lighten up

ImperialStout

Yeah, but sometimes its fun to make other people feel like dicks for being annoying and dumb.

Coning is more hardcore in America's Dairyland, according to the Greenfield, Wisconsin Police Department.

"A group of teenagers continue to purchase ice cream cones at McDonald's, 4550 S. 108th St., and "cone" the restaurant by throwing the purchased ice cream treats at customers, employees and the building. A "coning" occurred at 9:45 p.m. Aug. 2. when a teenager threw a cone at the building before fleeing in a vehicle".
